Online

(also known as eLearning although we think that covers all non-classroom delivery methods) (can also be called On Demand)

Online courses are usually custom written and delivered in small controllable chunks and are extremely flexible, allowing you to learn in your own time, at your own pace, and in the comfort of your own home, office, or even on your mobile device.

Many online courses also provide access to full support from subject-matter experts for the duration of your course which can be for periods ranging from 3 months to 12 months.

Whilst usually a lot cheaper than Classroom courses, if you are undertaking certificated training, many will also include the exam fee (check this before you buy as some training providers do not include these fees in order to appear to offer reduced prices) and exams can be taken either online or within a classroom at one of many centres around the UK.

Video

Whilst some Online courses will provide a level of video content, Video courses are custom built to offer a powerful alternative to traditional classroom training, delivering modular videos that can be accessed anytime, anywhere, and from any device.

You receive all the benefits of having an on screen qualified tutor delivering the course as though in a classroom alongside the benefits of Online training, which include reduced costs and associated exams taken in a classroom or online.

Blended

As if there isn’t enough choice, there is a small range of courses which combine the benefits of Classroom courses and Online learning.

Alongside the Classroom, Online and Video options, Focus on Training currently provides a range of Blended courses where you can take some elements Online and some elements in the Classroom – click here for more details

Blended Virtual

(also known as Blended Live)

This is a recently launched delivery format that normally replaces a more traditional (5) day Classroom or Virtual full time course and combines the expert direction of instructor-led training with the flexibility of on-demand eLearning. Normally over a 3-6 week period, students will receive an introductory instructor-led session followed by weekly on-demand assignments and 3-4 hour instructor-led sessions (usually delivered Virtually).

Pacing the content in smaller chunks over several weeks allows students to learn on their schedule and at their speed. Additionally, supporting students with expert-led, challenge-based exercises and access to the instructor; Blended Live more effectively transfers skills and knowledge and meets the expectations of today’s enterprises.

Blended Live does this without travel expenses, with less disruption to standard workloads, and imparts greater knowledge and skills transfer – creating a mastery of the material. Resources are available 24x7 from any location – students can train in the evening or over weekends to fit around their busy work and life schedules.

In House

(also known as Onsite)

With In House, the training is delivered as specifically required by your company, at your company premises or other location of your choice near to your business.

In House delivery brings you advantages over public courses, including:

Confused yet? So what is best for me? Classroom, eLearning, In House or Blended Training?

That is very much down to you, your budget, and preferred learning style, how many people you want to train in one go, your ability to get away from the office or desire to network and learn from like-minded professionals.
